- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 Straight to wide long-on and that will be the end of Robin Uthappa today! Length ball outside off and Uthappa went for the pull, but doesn't get the timing right. Chris Jordan does well to take the catch in the deep, timing his jump well. He is as safe a pair of hands as you can ask for. Uthappa departs for 79 off 46, continuing his good form in this tournament 114/27.2 Great fielding! Root tries to sneak in a single after pushing it towards short mid-off with soft hands. But the fielder throws in quickly and the batter is well short of the crease. 71/115.1 And he has castled Rovman Powell! Tossed up on a length off and the ball takes just enough turn to crash into the stumps as Powell looked to wallop that over the leg side. Powell with another good knock, but he misses out on the half-century yet again. 142/316.1 Cut straight to extra cover! That was banged in short of a length outside off and Rajapaksa looked to slap it away and James Vince takes a good low catch diving to his right 150/417.1 Rehan Ahmed strikes again! Tossed up full on off, Shanaka skips out and looks to clear deep midwicket, but it's the longer boundary and Erasmus makes no mistake 164/517.4 Rehan has his third! Googly that's full on off and Ravi Bopara comes out and swings it but doesn't connect well and it's a relatively simple catch for Chris Jordan at long-on 166/619.3 Edged and taken, this time! Gleeson continues going short and Udana again made room and looked to slap it over the off side, but only gets a thin edge and this time Pope makes no mistake 172/719.6 Yorked him! Yorker on middle and Luqman looked to swing it over midwicket but couldn't get his bat down and Gleeson finishes with two well deserved wickets 182/8Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL182/8 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Joe Root, 7.2 ov), 2-114 (Robin Uthappa, 11.6 ov), 3-142 (Rovman Powell, 15.1 ov), 4-150 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 16.1 ov), 5-164 (Dasun Shanaka, 17.1 ov), 6-166 (Ravi Bopara, 17.4 ov), 7-172 (Isuru Udana, 19.3 ov), 8-182 (Hazrat Luqman, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Mujeeb strikes A googly from the offspinner pitched short of full length, a little bit of pace there, Rehan can't read this as he swings his bat and it hits the top of middle stump 43/15.5 Beaten by turn! Length ball on the middle, plays it on the backfoot and it hits his right pad. Pope reviews. Ultra Edge shows there is no bat incolved. Replays confirm it's umpire's call. Pope departs for duck. Second wicket for Mujeeb! 43/215.4 Oh what an unfortunate run out! Loopy full delivery and Vince hits a crisp drive straight down the ground. But that was too straight and hits the stumps at the non-striker's end. Erasmus at the non-striker's end had raced out of the crease and Powell reacts quickly to pick the ball up and uproot a stump and that ends a fantastic partnership 150/317.1 Powell has a wicket! Length ball outside off, Hetmyer goes across and looks to slog-sweep this but it's straight down Joe Root's throat at long-on, and he makes no mistake. 168/4Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL183/4 (19 Overs, RR: 9.63)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Rehan Ahmed, 5.3 ov), 2-43 (Ollie Pope, 5.5 ov), 3-150 (Gerhard Erasmus, 15.4 ov), 4-168 (Shimron Hetmyer, 17.1 ov)
